3 out of 5 starsI just finished DA:I. I enjoyed the dialogues which are superb, skill trees and fighting, However, the end is so forced and the last two missions in the game take about 10 minutes. You never find out the true motives of the villain and everything feels unnaturally quickly wrapped up. In addition you spend the whole game gathering allies and resources for you fight against the main villain, but you never really need…
Drakan: Order of the Flame1999
5 out of 5 starsEven today I can remember how I played Drakan for the first time: I had a demo version of the game which included the second level of it and I played it over and over again until I finally got the complete game for my birthday. By then I was quite familiar with the mechanics and used to the beautiful graphics which were quite good for 1999s standards. The story, however, which involved the young woman Rynn and her…
Terranigma1995
5 out of 5 starsI was fortunate enough to play Terranigma back in the day when it was first released in Europe for the SNES in 1996. At that point I had already played the remarkable SNES adaption of the NES classic Zelda and later on played through Seceret of Mana and Secret of Evermore but what I got when I first fired up my console to play Terranigma was more than unexpected. Terranigma starts off in a small village named Crysta…

Sep 10, 2010
After playing about 40 hours of Bloodmoon , Tribunal and Oblivion this week, I was searching for more info about the next Elder Scrolls game. What I have found is a bunch of really bad youtube videos which claim to have content of the next game in them. Looks like they are all fake. However what I found out was that there is a new Bethesda podcast: http://bethblog.com/podcast/ They are talking...
I Just Bought Shenmue II For Dreamcast
Aug 19, 2010
I already played through Shenmue II a couple of years ago when it was first released for Xbox. Shortly after that I picked up the original game, Shenmue I for Dreamcast and loved it, too. Though it's difficult to get access into those games, at least that's how I felt during the first few hours of the games, they are worth your time. I was stunned when I noticed how the town in Shenmue I change...

...and I have got to say that it was pretty awesome. Cologne is about two hours from my home town so there wasn't much to think about when I made the decision whether or not to go there. Cologne's convention center was fairly easy to find and the layout of the whole center is in my opinion even better than that of the convention's former home in Leipzig. The first games I looked at when I arriv...
Not A Lot Of Fanboyism Going On Here
Aug 16, 2010
Over the past years I noticed that there is not a lot of fanboyism going on on GB and I am glad that this is the case. There are a lot of sites where it only takes one or two posts until the first fanboy posts pop up on a certain topic, let say a multi-platform game. It's annoying and nonconstructive. Maybe the alignment colors prevent us from feeling the need to express our feelings towards ou...

Today the capacitors for my Game Gears arrived. Though only two of the three Game Gears I ordered have arrived at my house by now I was willing to give this whole repair thing a shot. Well at least I was willing to drop by a friend's house who's also into video game collecting and had a more or less faulty Game Gear himself. Thing is that he really knows his way around soldering stuff so basica...
Taking apart a SEGA Game Gear - you can't avoid it
Aug 4, 2010
I already blogged about the Game Gear I ordered on eBay for 25€ boxed, however the situation has change quite a lot since my last blog entry. First of all the Game Gear was delivered to my house, but when I put in the six double As it requires all I got was 1-2 seconds of life out of the device. "Bad sign" I thought, essentially because it said on the auction page that this thing should run lik...
